You must not do anything because it is right, but because it is your wish. Right is a word and Wrong is a word, but the sun shines in the morning and the dew falls in the dusk without thinking of these words which have no meaning. The bee flies to the flower and the seed goes abroad and is happy. Is that right, Shepherd Girl? - it is wrong also. I come to you because the bee goes to the flower - it is wrong! If I did not come to you, to whom would I go? There is no right and no wrong but only the will of the gods.
(From The Crock of Gold by James Stephens)
